Probably 185 or a catch weight at like 175-180 around there. GSP is known to walk around at like 200lbs in between fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I heard Lineker won a split decision and Dodson was pissed, though he was said to have run away all night. I really like John Lineker too, I'll have to watch that fight..

Shame they didn't make that fight before Anderson was 41 years old. I hate to see him continue to fight on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His walk around weight even today is probably no heavier than GSP's. But he is a 41 year old flashy reflex based stylist. He shouldn't fight anymore.

I don't think he looked pissed - more surprised imo. that being said linekar was very entertaining to watch. He pushed the fight the whole time and was relentless. Tracking and chasing Dodson who was quick to get on his bike when he felt the pressure. overall it was very understandable why linekar won the split. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 GSP was my favorite fighter to watch in the UFC, but now he is just an exercise professional. He works out, gets sponsors, posts some videos, and then does some interviews saying he's coming back to the UFC wearing the clothes of his sponsors. Its just an act to keep the $ rolling in. This talk has been going on for 2-3 years. Can hate some of the things Dana White says, but he's right about GSP. Gegard Mousasi is one of my new favorites. He also called out fans for being 'stupid' for liking fighters because of what expensive stuff they post on instagram. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda diggin' the angrier side of Moose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped watching UFC when GSP left, loved watching him fight. Once he left, I did not have anyone to really cheer for. Anderson Silva used to be worth watching, but age has caught up with him. Nobody right now on that roster compares to those guys in their prime. Used to like Jon Jones, but drug issues etc A lot of these "hyped" cards have also ended up to be duds, tough to pay for a card when fights lack intensity that they used to.

UFC 200 was a good example of unwarranted hype and it disappointed. This card is an exception. Three title fights, and basically entire card is worth watching, filled with stars and top prospects throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right around when I started to lose interest as well. When Dana was going off on GSP and basically saying he should have lost the belt it turned me off of the ufc. But Connor McGregor got me interested in the sport again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
